Popular presentations about Psychology
Behavioral Psychology
Between roughly 1913 and 1965 a school of psychologists insisted that the proper subject of their science was not the mind but the body — specifically, what the body did and how reliably it could be made to do it again.
Clinical Psychology
The discipline that takes mental suffering as its subject and tries, with limited tools, to relieve it.
Cognitive Biases — Glitches in Human Reasoning
Humans are not the rational actors of classical economics. We are decision-making machines built by evolution for a world very different from the one we inhabit — and our shortcuts show.
Cognitive Psychology
Cognitive psychology is the experimental study of mental processes — perception, attention, memory, language, reasoning, decision-making — treated as steps in an information-handling system that can be measured in milliseconds and modelled in flowcharts.
The Psychology of Consciousness
The Mind Examining Itself
Developmental Psychology
How a 270-day collection of cells becomes, over twenty years, a creature capable of doing calculus, falling in love, and lying about its taxes.
Evolutionary Psychology
Take seriously that the brain, like every other organ, was built by natural selection. Then ask: what cognitive architecture would such a brain have, and how would we recognise its workings?
Forensic Psychology
A field that exists because legal questions about credibility, competence, intent, and risk are also psychological questions — and because the courts, left to themselves, have been historically bad at answering them.
Learning & Memory
Memory is not a video recording. It is a reconstructive process that uses partial cues to assemble something that feels like a recording.
Neuropsychology
The clinical discipline that infers the architecture of the human mind from the patterns of damage that disrupt it.
Organizational Psychology
The Science of Work and Human Behavior in Organizations
Personality Psychology
A working definition: stable patterns of thought, feeling, and behaviour that distinguish individuals and persist across time and situations.
Positive Psychology
A scientific programme to study what makes a life go well, distinct from but related to clinical psychology's older project of studying what makes a life go badly.
Positive Psychology
The Science of Human Flourishing
Psychometrics
The discipline that asks: when we say someone "has high anxiety" or "an IQ of 120," what does that statement mean, and how would we know if we were wrong?
Social Psychology
Social psychology is the experimental study of how people think, feel, and act in the actual or imagined presence of other people — conformity, obedience, attribution, prejudice, persuasion, the small alterations in behaviour caused by being watched.
Sport Psychology
A field that exists because, at the elite level, the physical gap between competitors closes — and the psychological gap is what remains.
Social Psychology — The Science of Human Behavior in Groups
Social psychology's central insight is disquieting: human behavior is far more shaped by the social situation than by individual character. Who we are depends heavily on where we are and who is watching.
